Akyol [Conformal anti-invariant submersions from cosymplectic manifolds, Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics 2017; 462: 177-192] defined and studied conformal antiinvariant submersions from cosymplectic manifolds. The aim of the present paper is to define and study the notion of conformal slant submersions (it means the Reeb vector field ξ is a vertical vector field) from cosymplectic manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds as a generalization of Riemannian submersions, horizontally conformal submersions, slant submersions, and conformal antiinvariant submersions. More precisely, we mention many examples and obtain the geometries of the leaves of vertical distribution and horizontal distribution, including the integrability of the distributions, the geometry of foliations, some conditions related to total geodesicness, and harmonicity of the submersions. Finally, we consider a decomposition theorem on the total space of the new submersion.
